I have an Itanium rx2600 running VMS 8.1, so I thought I'd try and build
this release of Perl there. To summarise ...
- I ran @CONFIGURE and answered all the questions. I said "Y" to the
questions on 64bit support, but the configure procedure crashed with
and RMS-F-EOF error shortly after displaying the message
"Checking whether your NVs can preserve your UVs...".
- So I re-ran CONFIGURE.COM, this timing declining it's requests for
64bit support. It ran to completion, and invited me to run MMS to
build Perl.
- I ran MMS which chugged away for a while and built Perl without
any complaints.
- I ran MMS TEST which (eventually) crashed the system :-(
After the system rebooted I logged in again and ran MMS TEST again, with
exactly the same result ... system crashed at the same point in the MMS TEST
output.
The failure always happened at the same point; how can I disable the test
concerned to see if that's really the problem? (My suspicion is that it's
not the particular test which is causing the system crash; rather, it's an
issue with multiprocessing on this system.)
The MMS TEST output appears below.
Thanks,
Jeremy Begg
